Willie Mason [Discussion]

[Balmain_Bug]

If Galloway and or Wood are injured for a period of time, we will be stuffed.

We can win it. As far as we are concerned we have ticked all the boxes that we can.

But will we win it? That's a completely different question all together and he way I see it, you still need lady luck on your side to get to the GF and win it. And only time will tell in that regard.

I dont think we have ticked the most important box of all….a specialist halfback.

Agree we can win it, but Moltzen will have to really step up if he stays at 7

What if Moltzen and his brittle body gets injured ???

 

[happy_tiger]

Miller ,Humble and Chisholm are in the wings Bug

 

[cktiger]

Can't work out how we can find money for Mason after having to dump other guys.
Not saying he mightn't be a good buy.
In regards Moltzen getting hurt- we do have a few other options ( although without much first grade experience).
If he did get injured they would need to step up a la Cherry Evans.
By the way Bug I don't think you can put Moltzen in the brittle class for having a knee reconstruction-plenty of others in that category.
How would you describe Inglis - fragile?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

thinking about it now…

Dear GOD what a pack we'd have.

Woods, Galloway, Ellis, Mason - All MASSIVE boys.

Blair, Ellis, Fulton, Heigno - all 80 minute players.

Farah as good a hooker as I have seen since Benny Elias

Its trememdous.

then we have Marshall leading them around the park, a hungry Tuqiri, then Lawrence, and then Ayshford hitting careeer best form at the end of last year.

Moltzen will be motivated as well, and will combine brilliantly with Marshall.

Honestly guys if we can't win it this year, then when are we going to win it next?

What about a young future Australian Rep footaller at Fullback winning Rookie of the Year !

No pressure at all in that comment

Hey im not a jump off the cliff if we don't kind of guy - I was a balmain fan all through the nineties - I can handle it if they lose and don't make it.

Just sayin though - now is as good as it has ever been.

I was talking to gothetigers

I actually think the LAST thing we need is another big forward(regardless of masons credentials or lack thereof),as we already have one of the best packs & plenty of back-up
if anything happens to Benji,were totally lost for creative playmakers (particularlywithout Lui) & have some very specualtive backups at 6 & 7.Were gonna have Souths problem…giant forward pack,plenty of size &pace out wide,but no-one to set them up other than Benji.
Appreciate they dont grow on trees,but thats where we are vulnerable in 2012

You make a very good point

we cant win the comp without Benji.
No team can replace their star.

 

[habibsta33]

Goose is exactly right we cant win the comp without benji but
Dragons cant without soward
Roosters cant without pearce
Knewcastle cant without mullen
Manly cant without foran
Warriors cant without maloney
Gold coast cant without prince, and soo on
Any team loses their playmaker and theit going to strugglee to win a game let alone the comp. On Mason i think he could be a valuable player if he comes cheap judging by his days at the cowboys

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Fat.

The Schoolies can't win WITH Prince…

 

[happy_tiger]

And this mentality about us not being able to win without Benji has got to stop

One day in the future through either injury or retirement he won't be there and we will have to find a way to cope one way or the other

 

[Joel Helmes]

Any of this got anything to do with Willie Mason?

 

[Novocastrian_Tiger]

Maybe their saying that we cant win the comp without Big Willie in our team?

Very true - but unfortunately true playmakers are the most sought after and most highly paid players in the game - for this year we have nowhere near the money to attract a decent playmaker - we have signed a few young blokes with promise but who knows if they will make it - maybe we should have saved all our spare coin this year and made a massive offer to Cronk or DCE.

 

[benji_6]

I just wish there would be announcement on who he has signed for. What is he waiting on?

A drum roll :wink:

 

[Cos_Borg]

He is missing out on valuable Team training. You would think he would hurry up so he can start training with A team to get his bearings straight.

To be fair, Willie's stint at NQ saw him return to some of his former glory.

I would be surprised if he turns out to be another Jason Cayless. Like him or not (which I don't,) the guy can still play and would be a steal if he can deliver…
